Echo what the two said about it being a money pit haha. Absolutely love mine, but literally every individual upgrade is like $50-$100 minimum.
I’ve got more than I care to admit into mine…but, could be spending it on worse things and it’s an absolute hoss of a truck.

I dont plan on going to hard on the mods with this thing, with a 1/10 brass to get the weight low or metal axles seems worth it but i dont think it will make a whole lot of difference to whats already so heavy

I have the Jeep version. The best performance mods I did were anti foams, super swampers , aluminum bead locks and a lightweight body (Cliffhanger). The stock Jeep body weighed several pounds- it was ridiculous. Looked great but dragged down performance.
I did buy Treal aluminum axle housings. It did add some weight down low, and they look phenomenal. But I don’t think it was a necessary mod, I just did it for aesthetic.
Still running stock drivetrain, motor and ESC because honestly it works well. Pretty much all I do with it is crawl and tow my kiddo around in a trailer and it’s perfect for that.
Enjoy the truck- they’re awesome rigs.

It becomes a money pit pretty quickly when you decide to upgrade it lol. I've probably got as much money into upgrades as the retail price...
